Question Shan Yun
"What do you mean when you said just now that Ayun's money was wasted?" Zou Weichen stared at Jixiang.
He understood the meaning of this sentence literally. Although he didn't understand the specifics, he had a feeling that Shan Yun was still involved in his family affairs.
"I didn't say anything." Jixiang waved his hands and explained frantically, but looking at Zou Weichen's eyes, he knew he couldn't escape and he became depressed.
"Well, before the Lunar New Year, we went to pick up Jiang Zhe, and on the way to dinner, we ran into your brother-in-law, and Young Master Yun approached him to talk. I don't know the details, but I saw your brother-in-law snatch a large sum of money from Young Master Yun, and your brother-in-law promised not to go home, and Young Master Yun didn't let me tell you."
Jixiang told Zou Weichen everything he saw and heard that day. He had actually thought about it for several days and always felt that what Shan Yun was doing was not solving the problem, and it was very likely to complicate things.
“I don’t know the details.”
Zou Weichen clenched and unclenched his hands on his knees. He lowered his head and ate noodles. The noodles made by Aunt Ji suddenly didn't taste good no matter how he ate them.
His sudden silence made Jixiang even more uneasy, and he leaned towards him, "Don't say I said that."
"It's okay." Zou Weichen said with a smile, "Thank you for telling me."
He didn't want to involve too many people in the first place, and now that Shan Yun has been implicated, he couldn't allow one more person to be implicated, so he didn't tell Jixiang about it.
He must ask Shan Yun clearly why he gave him money and whether he was threatened by Jiang Qi.
These are the only two things that Zou Weichen fears most.
"I'm going back first. Please thank Aunt Ji for me." Zou Weichen stood up.
"Okay, okay."
"Hey, Xiaochen, you're going back so soon? I haven't cooked Xiaoyue's noodles for you yet." Aunt Ji saw Zou Weichen leaving and chased to the door, shouting.
"Thank you, Aunt Ji. It's not necessary. We can come back to eat noodles some other time." Zou Weichen shouted and ran away.
After saying goodbye to Jixiang, Zou Weichen ran all the way back home, sat on a chair in a daze, and looked at the window opposite.
It was deserted and empty.
He was wondering what Shan Yun talked about when he met Jiang Qi that day, whether they reached some agreement in private, and whether Shan Yun would suffer any losses?
He should have reminded Shan Yun all the time, should have kept an eye on Jiang Qi all the time, and should not have given them any chance to come into contact.
The more Zou Weichen thought about it, the more upset he became.
If he deleted the memory of this year and went back to a year ago, even though Shan Yun hadn't come, he would still be following the route he had planned.
Wouldn't it implicate anyone?
He had too many questions and concerns, and he really wanted to call Shan Yun immediately, but it was too early and Shan Yun might not be up yet.
The angry person also has to consider the life habits of the person who is angry, for fear of disturbing Shan Yun's rest. If he gets irritable when waking up and doesn't get enough rest, he will be in a bad mood all day.
When Zou Weichen reacted, he laughed speechlessly at himself.
He went back to his own business.
Shan Yun didn't wait for Xu Ru to come back, and only received a message: "Xiao Yun, Mommy has to work overtime, and I don't know when she will be back. You stay at home with your grandma."
This one sentence blocked all the questions that Dan Yun wanted to ask.
He didn't even give Shan Yun a chance to ask when he would be back.
Shan Yun lay paralyzed on the sofa, scrolling through his mobile phone out of boredom. But his grandmother was always restless and was busy doing something at home, wiping the table or mopping the floor.
"Grandma, don't worry. Uncle Zhao will hire someone to clean it up. It's not dirty. Sit down and take a rest."
Grandma came over with a smile and Shan Yun turned on the TV for her.
This time, grandma's mind was not on the TV series, and she glanced at Shan Yun from time to time.
"Does Xiaoyun miss Xiaochen?"
Shan Yun usually avoids Xu Ru when she video calls her, but in front of his grandmother, Shan Yun never avoids her and sometimes even lets his grandmother show up and chat with Zou Weichen.
This time I didn’t contact Zou Weichen for two days in a row, and my grandmother found it strange.
It’s not that Shan Yun didn’t want to contact her, but he hadn’t gotten his business done and was a little anxious. He was afraid that Xu Ru would not agree, and he would not be able to get the 200,000 yuan and help Zou Weichen.
He didn't want Zou Weichen to see his depressed mood. Zou Weichen was too observant and could detect the slightest difference. He was afraid that he would not be able to resist Zou Weichen's questioning.
He wants to reduce contact as much as possible until things are done.
"Not calling him?"
Shan Yun shook his head and smiled at his grandmother: "I miss him, but I can't hit him."
"Why can't you call?" Grandma thought that Shan Yun had no phone credit or data, so she took out her own phone and clicked on Zou Weichen's video call.
"Grandma will call him and you can talk to him. Grandma has phone credit."
"No need, grandma." Shan Yun was about to stop her, but the other party had already answered the phone.
"What's wrong with Grandma Xu?"
Zou Weichen's voice came from the other side.
"Xiao Yun wants to video chat with you." Grandma said as she handed the phone to Shan Yun.
Shan Yun had previously taught his grandmother how to make video calls, hoping that she would be able to use it when needed, but now he has dug a hole for himself.
"How can you call using Grandma Xu's phone? Where's your phone?"
"It's out of battery. I forgot to charge it." Shan Yun said with a smile.
"Will you play until the battery runs out without charging?"
"You played until the battery ran out, then went to sleep, and now you wake up and find out that the battery is out."
The two of them suddenly ran out of things to say, each of them having their own concerns. This was the first time that the conversation ended in a lull.
"Ayun."
"Ah, what's the matter?"
"Have you met Jiang Qi?"
Shan Yun was stunned, knowing that Zou Weichen must have known something, so he continued to play it safe: "How could I have seen him? Wasn't he imprisoned? And I have been here for the past few days, how could we have met?"
"What about before the New Year?"
"Before the New Year?" Shan Yun rolled his eyes. "Didn't I stop you that time before the New Year? Just that one time, that's it."
"Did you give Jiang Qi money?" Zou Weichen wanted to ask politely to see if Shan Yun would take the initiative to say it, but judging from the situation, Shan Yun was not going to say it.
He could only ask directly.
"Why would I give him money? He and I have no relationship at all. Besides, he bullied you and Sister Yue. I really wanted to punch him a few times." Shan Yun refused to admit it.
"Really?"
"No." Shan Yun deliberately looked at the TV, avoiding Zou Weichen's gaze, "Well, I want to take grandma out for a walk, that's all for now."
"Ayun!"
Zou Weichen wanted to ask more questions, but Shan Yun hung up the phone.
Shan Yun avoided the topic and refused to admit it, which made Zou Weichen a little angry, but more worried, worried that Shan Yun was threatened by Jiang Qi.
He must hurry up and resolve the matter to prevent Jiang Qi from looking for Shan Yun again after he is released. A gambling addict like Jiang Qi will be greedy for money. After he got some benefits from Shan Yun once, he will definitely target him.
He didn't want Shan Yun to get hurt.
Shan Yun, on the other hand, wanted Xu Ru to agree as soon as possible and give Zou Weichen a surprise with the money, so he chose not to say anything.
The two men fell into a cold war.
On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Ru had not returned yet, and Shan Yun's plan to return to City A was postponed.
Zou Weichen is sorting out the materials.
He read the materials from beginning to end for no less than five times. Zou Yue came over and asked, "What's the matter? Are you still missing some materials?"
"No, I just want to confirm it again to be safe." Zou Weichen put the materials into the bag, "Let's go, sister."
The brother and sister took a taxi to the detention center.
Zou Yue stood in front of the gate, looking at the conspicuous words on the door with a dazed look on his face.
"Sister, what's the matter?"
"It's okay, I just feel a little dazed."
"As long as you are determined, the result will definitely be what we want." Zou Weichen put his arm around Zou Yue's shoulders. "Have you made up your mind?"
Zou Yue nodded.
Two people walked in the door.
"Yueyue, you finally came to see me." Jiang Qi was a little excited through the glass.
Zou Yue stepped back slightly. Zou Weichen held her hand and looked directly at Jiang Qi. "I'm not here to see you today. I'm here to ask you to sign these documents."
"What material?"
"Divorce Agreement. Sister has decided to divorce you."
"What divorce? Is your sister willing to give up the store? Is she willing to leave home?" Jiang Qi felt that he had Zou Yue figured out, thinking that she would not get divorced but was reluctant to give up the store.
After Zou Yue left Jiang Qi, she had no place to stay and was helpless. She also had to support Zou Weichen, a burden, to go to school. Without him, Zou Yue could not survive.
Jiang Qi crossed his legs, folded his arms across his chest, and looked at the brother and sister on the other side, but he noticed that there was something wrong with the expression on Zou Weichen's face.
He rolled his eyes, looked around, and suddenly moved closer. "You guys are still preparing two hundred thousand. I've said that if you succeed in cheating me, I'll divorce you immediately without saying a word."
"What two hundred thousand?"
Zou Weichen was quick to realize that the money might be related to Shan Yun.
Sure enough, Jiang Qi not only extorted money from Shan Yun on the spot, but also demanded two hundred thousand.
"You have a good classmate who voluntarily gave me $200,000. I said that as long as he got the money, I would immediately agree to a divorce."
"You!" Zou Weichen clenched his fists.
Zou Yue, who was standing behind him, suddenly shouted excitedly: "Jiang Qi, you bastard, you even didn't let the children go."
Jiang Qi looked at the two of them, who seemed to be unaware of the situation, and said proudly, "Well, he didn't tell you, so I'll tell you, he promised me 200,000 yuan to divorce you, and I agreed."
"Anyway, I won't sign without $200,000."
"This is a matter between us. Why do you want to involve others? Are you bullying Xiaoyun?" Zou Yue leaned on the glass and questioned Jiang Qi.
She had still had some feelings for Jiang Qi, but now seeing him like this, she was extremely disappointed.
Zou Weichen held Zou Yue.
"I bullied him? He's just a fool. He's trying to show off to me and give me money. Don't tell me, I won a lot of money from him."
"How much money did he give you?" Zou Weichen gritted his teeth but still held back his temper.
"No more, no less than twelve hundred. With that twelve hundred, I won tens of thousands. If I hadn't been reported and caught here, I would have continued to win."
"You are hopeless." Zou Yue pointed at him and sat down paralyzed.
Zou Weichen looked at Jiang Qi.
"You can't wait for the 200,000 yuan. As for the divorce, we have to go through the legal process. We have already sought help from the judiciary and forced a divorce on the grounds of domestic violence. Even if you don't agree, it's useless."
"Sister, let's go."
